5. Chapter 4 - Ever

~~The letters O, M, and G were still running repeatedly through my head. I opened my suitcase to get my PJs while Viv was jumping around the room yelling something about dressing rooms. I was so zoned out that I didn’t realize that she stopped till she tapped on the shoulder and I jumped fifty feet in the air.

“That never gets old,” Viv said laughing while rummaging through my suitcase “How many pairs of black leggings do you have?”

“Eight,” I replied matter-of-factly. “One for every day of the week and an extra one for just in case measures.”

“What would be a 'just in case measure’?” Viv plopped on my bed seeming genuinely curious.

I asked her, “Remember when we went to Shake Shack and you spilled your strawberry shake on me?”

Viv nodded her head up and down while giggling about the memory.

“Well…I had an extra pair of leggings in my bag which is why I have eight pairs of leggings.”

“That’s actually smart.”

I just playfully glared at her while I grabbed my PJ’s and walked to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

“Are you not going to say hi to 5SOS when they arrive? They will be here in thirty minutes," asks Viv.

“Nah, I am too tired. I don’t think they will mind if I go to bed early, especially if they hear Felicity’s snoring.” I start to brush my teeth until I hear a knocking on the joint door. Viv goes over to open the door where Felicity and Natty were grinning excitedly.

“They’re here!” they squealed. I spat my toothpaste out and started freaking out. My PJ’s were just a navy tank top and plaid shorts. This is not what I was planning to wear when we first met the band. That is when I heard a knock at our hotel door. Viv ran to the door as I made sure I was at least decent.

“Hey guys, you’re Never Enough right?” I could see the door from the mirror in the bathroom. All of them were there. I felt faint.

Viv nodded.“Yeah, I’m Viv, the lead guitar,” she said as she pointed to herself. She pointed to Felicity who was on her right. “This is Felicity, our bass guitar.” Viv pointed to her left to Natty. “That is Nat, our drummer and manager.” Viv started looking around for me as I hid in the bathroom. “I think Ever is in the bathroom, one sec.” I heard her coming into the bathroom. “Ever, come on. They are waiting to meet you.” Viv grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the bathroom. “This is Ever, our lead singer.”

“Ay, guys,” I say blushing. This is so embarrassing. I am wearing my PJ’s in front of 5SOS. Great first impression.

Ashton stepped forward and gestured around to the guys.“I figure you know that we are 5SOS, I’m Ashton, and there’s Luke, Calum, and Michael.” He looks like he is talking to only one person in particular- Natty. I didn’t mind because I have been locked in a staring contest with Luke. He is so cute! “We are going to go to bed and looks like you guys were getting ready for bed anyways,” said Ashton, knocking me out my trance.

“Sounds good to me!” I blurted. Everyone started laughing and headed to their bedrooms and beds.

“God, this bed feels great,” I heard Viv say. “Do you think that the others are up?”

I turned towards her bed, my stomach growling loudly.

“Who knows, but I am going to freshen up a little and head down to breakfast. Why don’t you knock on their door?” I responded.

Viv and I got out of bed, and I headed to the bathroom and brushed my hair trying to make myself look not as dead as I feel. I heard Viv knock on the joint door to check on the other girls. There was no response.

“They might have already gone down to the breakfast area, why don’t you freshen up too and go down together?” I said.

Viv walked over to the bathroom and grabbed the brush. I walked out and grabbed our key card and my large coffee mug (because I need a lot of coffee to really wake up in the morning).

“Ready!” Viv called. We linked arms and left the room.

When we get down, we found the rest of the band (as well as 5SOS) already eating.

“How long have you guys been down?” I asked. I looked around at their plates seeing that they were half eaten.

“Just for a bit. We popped in your room but you guys were so sound asleep that we decided to just leave you guys till you woke up. When we left our room these guys were leaving too,” Felicity explained, and nodded her head towards the guys. “So we just decided to eat together, and now you’re here, so we can eat like a real band. I see you have your coffee mug.”

I raised my mug in response and start heading toward the food, where Viv had already started the waffle maker.

“How many cups does that hold?” I turned to the voice. It was Ashton, looking at my mug inquisitively.

“I think about three cups,” I replied while starting to fill it up.

“You fill your cup at least twice- three if we have a concert the night before,” Viv responded turning over the waffle iron. We laughed, leaving the guys speechless about my coffee drinking abilities.

“You gotta do what you gotta do to stay alive,” I explained. We laughed again, this time the guys joining in.

Viv and I sat down with our breakfasts and started chatting with everyone as we ate. I keep locking eyes with Luke making us both blush. I usually distance myself from any possible relationship. I've only had two serious relationships that ended with trust issues and the fact that I don’t want to “get physical” with them. These guys seemed different, though.

After we finished our breakfast one by one, we went back up to our rooms, agreeing to get back together to see the area. Can’t wait!
